Klar Seifen soap. My opinion
I got a sample of this great soap and with it being on the top tier of Obie's list I just had to give it a try.
The soap is a hard soap. Not soft at all. Maybe my sample was a little old? I just found it to be a hard packed soap.
The first time I used it I wasn't very impressed with the slickness. Maybe I had used too much water. I broke it out tonight for another try and found the slickness to be good. Not the best or even second place but it was good.
The lather on this second try was really a nice thick lather even when a little extra water was used. I like my lather to be just this side of too wet. Still had some nice peaks in the scuttle. I did find that it started to dissipate after a little time. This is something that drives me nuts. I don't think a soap should just disappear after a while. I've had some that were a lot worse so it wasn't a really big deal.
The scent, according to the website is spicy and leathery. As you know, my sniffer don't work as well as most. I could tell it had some kind of scent but it was just too faint for me to really get a good whiff. I had the wife smell it in the sample container and she said the scent was very slight but had no idea of what it was. Even right out of the scuttle I just couldn't get much of anything from it.
The protection type to slickness was good but again not the best or even second place to what I've had in the past. I found a touch of slickness left on my face after the razor pass. Some soaps I find nothing left on my skin.
All in all, I gave Klar a 7.5 to 8 out of 10. With the lather being what pushes it up the list. Would I buy this? Yes. I'd put it in my line-up of good soaps but it would be around 4th or 5th in place out of all the soaps and creams I've used.
So there you have it. YMMV and this is just my opinion. Hope this might help someone out if they are looking to buy some in the future.
